All life on Earth depends on plants—for food, shelter, oxygen, and more.
Yet the plant biodiversity that sustains us is imperiled as never before. Habitat destruction and toxic pollution are exacerbated by climate change and its life-threatening effects. The
New York Botanical Garden is responding to this crisis by conducting cutting-edge,
science-based plant conservation in the lab and in the field—and by sharing its research and
developing programs with collaborators, stakeholders, and policymakers on local, national, and
international levels.

Your gift today will help NYBG save the plants of the world, conserve biodiversity, and promote scientific discovery. In addition, from now until the end of our fiscal year on June 30, a generous Challenge Grant from the LuEsther T. Mertz Charitable Trust will have a significant and immediate impact on your gift—there has never been a better time to give.
